Being born in a music background, my first encounter with music happened when I was five years old and observed my parents while they taught music theories to their students. At such a young age, I took interest in this area, and insisted my mother to teach classical music and rabindrasangeet to me. My parents had healthy connections with accomplished industry artists who would often visit our home to practice with them. Seeing them from close quarters motivated me to learn a classical instrument, and soon I began taking Sarod classes under the guidance of the legendary maestro, Padmabhushan Pt. Buddhadev Dasgupta.

Over the last decade, I have performed at various prestigious events in India as well as abroad. I would like to highlight my recent performances and acts. I performed at ITC Sangeet Sammelan in 2022, which was a concert by the Italian Consulate General at Kolkata and Bhubaneswar, represented India at Asia Music Summit in 2020, played at the Ministry of Sports and Culture in Taiwan in 2019, performed for bicentenary celebration of Hindu School in the presence of the President of India, and performed at the residence of Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore in 2017. In addition to the above milestones, I have shared the stage with renowned Indian musicians such as Hariharan, Rashid Khan, Usha Uthup, Subha Mudghal, Sourendra-Soumyajit, and Amjad Ali Khan. As a part of my achievements, I won the first place at All Indian Universities Youth Festival, which was held in the year 2019 and have been a high-grade artiste and regular performer at All India Radio and Doordarshan.

The modules of the course are carefully designed and align perfectly with my career and personal goals. I am highly interested in broadening my knowledge and skills in areas like vocal production, visual media audio, and independent music production. The modules of this program extensively cover all these topics and I will learn the various styles of music production techniques to acquire complex music projects across different genres and settings.

After conducting colossal research about finding an ideal institution to undertake higher studies in music, I found that Berklee’s School of Music fits perfectly with my interests. Both Berklee students and Alumni have a high global reputation among fellow artists. It is because of their unparalleled technical skills and knowledge that people around the world hire them for a variety of acts such as live performances and dated gigs, contractual and freelance agreements, private lessons, and internships. Even those who are hired as interns are paid exceptionally well that is easily reflected in their compensation. Another reason for choosing this institution is the experienced faculty. It comprises highly qualified and talented professors with a rich and diverse professional background in all tenets of music. It will be a privilege to study under the guidance of such learned faculty that

I have always maintained sound academic conduct during my past educational tenure and will ensure the same as I am deeply inspired by the program’s learning outcomes and delivery by a class-leading faculty. Among other courses, I chose to study the Master of Music as it will help me realise my vocational objectives that include active learning of the modern concepts of music production. From my research, I found the curriculum to be holistic and comprehensive, which is delivered in a globally-recognized environment. Through internships and industry partnerships, I will exploit every chance to apply my learning in a professional ecosystem during my stay at the campus. The USA is widely known for its pristine quality of education and a course in Music is at forefront among any other globally. 

English has been my primary language for communication since early childhood and I have never faced difficulty in conversing with fellow students and teachers in school as well as in college. Thus, I assure you that I will face no issues while interacting with the top-notch faculty at your institution during the tenure of the program.

I hope to have expressed my academic interest, purpose, and motivation behind choosing to pursue the Master of Music at the prestigious Berklee College of Music. I have reviewed the course modules and am impressed with the rigorous course content. I hope to add to the richness of this institute. I am looking forward to receiving a favorable reply from you and in case you have any queries regarding my application or candidature, I would be happy to address them.
